Minnesota Public Radio's long-running Morning Show is coming to an end. For the past 25 years, Dale Connelly and Jim Ed Poole -- whose real name is Tom Keith -- have hosted the program on Minnesota Public Radio.

Now that Keith has announced he's retiring at the end of the year, MPR decided it was time to end the program. The last show will be Dec. 11.

MPR's Steven John talked with Dale Connelly and Tom Keith about their long collaboration and the decision to bring it to an end.
